HT2729 ATV JUMPING TO ITUNES AND PLAYING, whilst generally browsing main ATV screen.

When I am scrolling through the main ATV screen( up down left right) it is jumping to my iMac iTunes and playing and scrolling through my music library. It is also adjusting the volume on the mac as I scroll up and down. This is frustrating and annoying as I scroll and all can hear is music from the mac playing through internal speakers and changing tracks as I scroll left,right etc, volume up and down as I scroll. How can I stop this. I only wish to do this when I actually choose to go into my library form the ATV menu, not whilst I am browsing generally.
I believe I have third gen. (Newly purchased) and new to ATV.

Hey Smegadoo!
You may want to try unpairing the remote from the computer in order to use this remote solely with your Apple TV:

How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4?

How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4? This means I need to run 2 apps at the same time itunes and my game. The game has its own sound control so I can turn off its sound while i listen to itunes tracks. But I don't know how to set it up so the ipad does both.

Anytime you open an app that has a persistant sound stream - a movie, a podcast, some games - it will overide the music app's stream. nothiong you can do to change it.

Hi I've download an album of iTunes and played it quite often and now I've noticed there is only a few tracks highlited and the rest of the tracks won't play can anyone help .

Hi I've downloaded an album of iTunes and played it quite often but I've noticed today that 3tracks are highlited to play and all the rest are not can any one point me in the right direction on why this as happened .

Do you use iTunes Match? I don't use it, but in case somebody else joins in that might be important to know. I don't know how iTM affects this type of thing on the iPad.
My suggestion would be to delete the album and download it again, if you can't get the songs to play. Many iTunes purchase can be downloade again for free when using the same Apple ID and if the item is still available in iTunes and the free downloads feature is available where you live.
This will tell you what content you can download again for free where you live.
iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability - Support - Apple
I am not a big downloader of Music from iTunes, but I have one song that gives me fits and I just delete it and download it again. Not the ideal situation, but it works.

I can open iTunes and play library contents but cant see any names or information in the library or any kind of wording at all

I can open iTunes and play library contents but cant see any names or information in the library or any kind of wording at all, please help.

Your synced music (and audiobooks) will go into the iPad's Music app, and films and tv shows into the Videos app - on an iPad the iTunes app is just the store

I had my home movies put on a DVD, they have a bup extension, can they be transferred into itunes and play on my Ipad?

I had my old 8mm home movies transferred to dvd's, they have a .bup extension, is it possible to download them into itunes and play them on my ipad2

Yes. Is the short answer.
You can directly connect the speaker out port of the Mac mini to an input on the AV Receiver which then feeds your speakers. This would be an audio only solution. If you use a TOS-Link connection this will be a pure digital connection ensuring the best quality (important for audiophiles).
You can if you wish connect the video from the Mac mini to the AV Receiver, and if you have a Mac mini with HDMI or a Mini Displayport you can run the audio and video via a single cable. (Older models would use two cables, the aforementioned TOS-Link pus a DVI to HDMI cable.)
If you do connect the video output from the Mac to the AV Receiver you can then display this on your TV, and have as one possibility iTunes displayed with perhaps one of the iTunes visualisers playing along with the music. Another possibility would be to use FrontRow on the Mac.
A different approach would be to have the Mac mini stream over a network to a device e.g. the Sonos Zoneplayer which is then connected to the AV Receiver. An AirPort Express is also able to do this.

How can I listen to a song from itunes and play along with my guitar on ipad2/apogee jam?

I am trying to utilze my ipad2 for guitar practce but having a hard time getting my technology under control. I have garage band as well as the apogee jam and I can easily hook it in and play, create songs etc. But what I like to do is play along at the same time with songs from my itunes library or from youtube. whenever I switch to another app the recording feed from garage band stops until I return to the app. How do people get around this, if they do?
Thanks

Not at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

Unable to successfully install iTunes and play music

I have been using iTunes in Windows for over a year and I regularly update the program, when the option pops up. I have never had a problem until now and am completely unhappy. In February (I know this was so long ago, but I've tried everything and can't remedy the problem, so here I am) I downloaded version 6.02, I think it was and my music wouldn't play. So I reldownloaded it and still nothing. I searched these discussions and followed the instructions to uninstall everything. I'm not worried about the music I have everything backed up. So I tried to uninstall everything and I did, but I was unable to delete QuickTime and its components. This was in April. I was really busy and stopped dealing with it, but I was viewing some webpages which required QuickTime and even though it is still on my computer, I was unable to open the pages. I think my iTunes problem is with QuickTime but I don't know, if someone would please help I would appreciate it, because I have been unable to update my ipod, buy new music, and play music on my computer for way too long now. Please help, I would appreciate it, and if I can offer any extra information which would help I will, thanks!

glad to be able to point you in Lorraine's direction, AmySue!
with the syncing thing: if you're planning to use unchecking to manage music syncing to your ipod, first plug in the ipod, and wait until it shows up in the itunes sourcelist. then go "edit > preferences", and click on the "ipod" tab. make sure that "only update checked songs" is checked in there, and click "OK".
that technique can get a bit unweildy for keeping more than a few songs off the ipod, though. another thing you might want to consider is creating a playlist containing all the songs you want on the ipod ("ipod syncing"?), and then heading back into the ipod preferences tab, selecting "Automatically update selected playlists only", and then selecting the "ipod syncing" playlist in the list beneath that, and then clicking OK.
for a bit more info on the various syncing/updating options, see this user tip:

Digital movie downloaded in itunes and plays - will not transfer to iphone 4

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I deleted from itunes and downloaded a second time - it shows in list of movies on iphone 4
but is light grey type and no photo of DVD jacket and will not play.

Did you have your iPhone connected and selected in iTunes?
In Music tab:
Is Sync Music selected?
Is Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres selected?
Is the new playlist selected under Playlists?

As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it. This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I can open my iTunes and play my purchased music, but I cannot get into the iTunes store. btw, I just downloaded the new version of iTunes

I downloaded the new version of iTunes, and now, I cannot get into the iTunes Store.

many thanks.
I am in my iTunes application and when I press the link to connect to the iTunes Store, it starts churning, and churning, but never connects. It has churned for hours and when I finally click the "X" to close it, I get error code 11222.
I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

ITunes and App Store icons gone from home screen

The iTunes and App Store icons have disappeared from my home screen (and no...I did not inadvertently delete them). Any ideas on how to restore them (and the links)? Thanks...

"You can't delete them anyway, but you could have moved them to another screen. "
Try looking at home screen number 2 (drag across to it or click the little silver ball at the bottom)

Can u select a song in iTunes, and play through the Apple TV (1st gen)

I am trying to figure out if I can use a computer, instead of the iTunes interface, to play music though my stereo. I know you can do this with a Airport Express (but not the Extreme...#^**@#), for example, but I am trying to figure out if you can do the same with the apple TV (the old one). I would liek to be able to have my laptop anywhere and control what is p[laying on the Apple TV...
thx

Simple - using the Airtunes (renamed Airplay in iTunes 10) speaker feature you'd use to play to an Express, you just enable in on AppleTV Gen 1 and then choose the AppleTv as the speaker in iTunes.
This will only work for audio of course.
The Remote app on an iPhone/iPad should also allow you to control iTunes playback to an AppleTV as another option - at least Version 1 allowed thsi I've not tried yet with Remote 2.0 but think it still does.
